''Written by: [[A. Lee]] and [[T. Balsamo]]''<br />
<br />
Described as a song about "a post-relationship catharsis that head-dives from an otherworldly intro into a hard-driving thrash of hard rock guitars and soaring rock vocals" by [http://evanescence.com Evanescence.com].<br />
<br />
The listener is captivated by Amy’s universe as the very first notes start off. Amy repeatedly takes a deep breath in order to absorb us for an hour. Terry’s guitar part flirts with high notes, as Amy’s voice follows the same tonality path.<br />
<br />
In an interview, Amy was asked: <ref>http://www.evanescencewebsite.com/AmyLeeInterview.php</ref>"Which was the song on "The Open Door" that gave more trouble to you? Which was the song that needed more adjustments to obtain "the final cut"?" <br />
<BR><br />
<b>She replied:</b> "Sweet Sacrifice took the longest to write. Terry and I began tracking it at the beginning of 2005, got stuck on it and sort of abandoned it, half-baked, for months. Then in September we pulled it out and finally had a breakthrough with it and it became one of our favorite songs on the album. Usually when I get stuck on a song like that it dies. If I can't get the idea out when its fresh and urgent, the feeling just goes away- but Sweet Sacrifice came back to life."<br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref><br />
<br />
<blockquote>"It's the one song on The Open Door that's about the same abusive relationship which was the source of all the songs on Fallen. It was appropriate to put this song at the beginning, but it comes from a much stronger standpoint than Fallen. It's not saying, 'I'm trapped in fear and somebody save me.' It's saying, 'Fear is only in our minds ... I'm not afraid anymore.'"</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
Officially chosen as the third single from [[The Open Door]] after requests from the band and fan reactions prompted the label to rethink ideas of releasing [[All That I'm Living For]] as the single.<ref>[http://www.evthreads.com/showpost.php?p=136272&postcount=204 Post by Amy Lee on EvThreads.com]</ref><br />
<br />
The song is nominated for the Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy Award. It is the heaviest song on The Open Door. <br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
It's true<br><br />
We're all a little insane<BR><br />
But it's so clear<BR><br />
Now that I'm unchained<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR><br />
Taking over all the time<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR> <br />
but it's taking over all the time<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You poor sweet innocent thing<BR><br />
Dry your eyes and testify<BR><br />
You know you live to break me<br><br />
Don't deny<BR><br />
Sweet sacrifice<BR><br />
<BR><br />
One day<br><br />
I'm gonna forget your name<BR><br />
And one sweet day<BR> <br />
You're gonna drown in my lost pain<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR><br />
Taking over all the time<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR> <br />
But it's taking over all the time<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You poor sweet innocent thing<BR><br />
Dry your eyes and testify<BR><br />
And oh, you love to hate me<br><br />
Don't you, honey?<BR><br />
I'm your sacrifice<BR><br />
<BR><br />
''I dream in darkness''<BR><br />
''I sleep to die''<BR><br />
''Erase the silence''<BR><br />
''Erase my life''<BR><br />
<br><br />
Do you wonder ''[Our burning ashes]''<BR><br />
Why you hate? ''[Blacken the day]''<BR><br />
Are you still so weak ''[A world of nothingness]''<BR><br />
To survive your mistakes? ''[Blow me away]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You poor sweet innocent thing<BR><br />
Dry your eyes and testify<BR><br />
You know you live to break me<br />
Don't deny<BR><br />
Sweet sacrifice<BR><br />

[[Image:Sweetsacrificevideo.png|thumb|200px|left|Sweet Sacrifice Video]]<br />
The video was filmed on March 9 and March 10, 2007 and was directed by [[P. R. Brown|Paul Brown]]. For each day of production, one lucky EvClub member was given the chance to visit the set and take pictures while they watched the video being made (see [[EvClub#EvClub Insider|Contest Details]]).<br />
<br />
CNN broadcast a segment featuring some behind-the-scenes footage of the video on March 16, 2007 ([http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/showbiz/2007/03/16/quan.evanescence.mxf.windup&wm=11 video]).<br />
<br />
"It's mostly live performance," singer Amy Lee said recently on the set of their "Sweet Sacrifice" video. "It's not so much fluff and flying and tricks and wolves and stuff. It's more really just about the song, and that is unique for us. We usually do crazy stuff." The video does have a "cool twist," which Lee refused to reveal, but it will mainly feature the band performing on a set inspired by 2000's psychotherapist thriller "The Cell." "Like we're in the walls of our minds, sort of," Lee said. <br />
<br />
Paul Brown, who has directed videos for Audioslave and Matisyahu, helmed the project, which will feature scenes of the live footage projected onto a wall. "It's gonna be sort of like a video within the video," Lee said. "Since the song is our heaviest single, we really wanted to focus on mostly performance but still have something about it that's really unique. And I think [Paul] really hit the nail on the head." <br />

The video was officially released at launch.yahoo.com on April 5th, however iTunes North America had accidentally made it briefly available for purchase the day before.<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
It's true<br><br />
We're all a little insane<BR><br />
But it's so clear<BR><br />
Now that I'm unchained<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR><br />
Taking over all the time<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR> <br />
but it's taking over all the time<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You poor sweet innocent thing<BR><br />
Dry your eyes and testify<BR><br />
You know you live to break me<br><br />
Don't deny<BR><br />
Sweet sacrifice<BR><br />
<BR><br />
One day<br><br />
I'm gonna forget your name<BR><br />
And one sweet day<BR> <br />
You're gonna drown in my lost pain<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR><br />
Taking over all the time<BR><br />
Fear is only in our minds<BR> <br />
But it's taking over all the time<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You poor sweet innocent thing<BR><br />
Dry your eyes and testify<BR><br />
And oh, you love to hate me<br><br />
Don't you, honey?<BR><br />
I'm your sacrifice<BR><br />
<BR><br />
''I dream in darkness''<BR><br />
''I sleep to die''<BR><br />
''Erase the silence''<BR><br />
''Erase my life''<BR><br />
<br><br />
Do you wonder ''[Our burning ashes]''<BR><br />
Why you hate? ''[Blacken the day]''<BR><br />
Are you still so weak ''[A world of nothingness]''<BR><br />
To survive your mistakes? ''[Blow me away]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You poor sweet innocent thing<BR><br />
Dry your eyes and testify<BR><br />
You know you live to break me<br />
Don't deny<BR><br />
Sweet sacrifice<BR><br />

The video was filmed on March 9 and March 10, 2007 and was directed by [[P. R. Brown|Paul Brown]]. For each day of production, one lucky EvClub member was given the chance to visit the set and take pictures while they watched the video being made (see [[EvClub#EvClub Insider|Contest Details]]).<br />
<br />
CNN broadcast a segment featuring some behind-the-scenes footage of the video on March 16, 2007 ([http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/showbiz/2007/03/16/quan.evanescence.mxf.windup&wm=11 video]).<br />
<br />
"It's mostly live performance," singer Amy Lee said recently on the set of their "Sweet Sacrifice" video. "It's not so much fluff and flying and tricks and wolves and stuff. It's more really just about the song, and that is unique for us. We usually do crazy stuff." The video does have a "cool twist," which Lee refused to reveal, but it will mainly feature the band performing on a set inspired by 2000's psychotherapist thriller "The Cell." "Like we're in the walls of our minds, sort of," Lee said. <br />
<br />
Paul Brown, who has directed videos for Audioslave and Matisyahu, helmed the project, which will feature scenes of the live footage projected onto a wall. "It's gonna be sort of like a video within the video," Lee said. "Since the song is our heaviest single, we really wanted to focus on mostly performance but still have something about it that's really unique. And I think [Paul] really hit the nail on the head." <br />

The video was officially released at launch.yahoo.com on April 5th, however iTunes North America had accidentally made it briefly available for purchase the day before.<br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]] and [[T. Balsamo]]''<br />
<br />
[[Terry Balsamo]]'s favorite song on [[The Open Door]], and the song Amy's finding it most fun to play live from [[The Open Door]]. The piano is the principal instrument for this song. It displays the maturity of the band’s new sound. The choir once again appears, causing the end of the song to be really epic. It includes a piano solo of 41 seconds, but it continues after a second bridge (All my fears [..] own way out now) and to the end of the song.<BR><br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref><br />
<br />
<blockquote>"A couple of years ago, I felt so alone that I was dreading going on tour. We had just arrived in Lisbon and I was in my room feeling jet-lagged, weird and tired. I had just been home where I could see the stars at night. But when I looked out the hotel window in Lisbon, I couldn't see anything because we were in this big city. That was the last straw. I felt so depressed, I just started singing this song." </blockquote><br />
<br />
During the bridge, the background choir sings "Alma surdo, loucura, onde está seu alma? Loucura, todo sozinho" (Portuguese with some grammatical mistakes) which tries to mean "Deaf soul, madness, where is its soul? Madness, all alone" in English. In correct portuguese it would be "Alma surda, loucura, onde está sua alma? Loucura, toda sozinha"<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
<br />
I can't see your star<BR> <br />
I can't see your star<BR><br />
Though I patiently waited, bedside<BR> <br />
For the death of today<BR> <br />
I can't see your star<BR> <br />
The mechanical lights of Lisbon<BR> <br />
Frightened it away<BR> <br />
<BR><br />
And I'm alone now<BR> <br />
Me and all I stood for<BR> <br />
We're wandering now<BR> <br />
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely<BR> <br />
Find your own way out<BR> <br />
<BR><br />
I can't see your star<BR><br />
I can't see your star<BR><br />
How can the darkness feel so wrong?<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And I'm alone now<BR><br />
Me and all I stood for<BR><br />
We're wandering now<BR><br />
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely<BR><br />
Find your own way out<BR><br />
<BR><br />
So far away<BR><br />
It's growing colder without your love<BR><br />
Why can't you feel me calling your name?<BR><br />
Can't break the silence<BR><br />
It's breaking me<BR><br />
<BR><br />
''[Alma surda, loucura]'' all my fears ''[onde está sua alma?]''<BR><br />
''[Loucura, toda sozinha]'' turn to rage<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And I'm alone now<BR><br />
Me and all I stood for<BR><br />
We're wandering now<BR><br />
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely<BR><br />
Find your own way out now<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And nothing worth fighting for<BR><br />
We're wandering now<BR><br />
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely<BR><br />
Find your own way out<BR><br />

<br />
== General Information ==<br />
<br />
''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
Described as "a string-and-choir-infused closer distinguished as the band's first truly (almost) contented song" by [http://evanescence.com Evanescence.com], the song is reminiscent of the piano ballad [[Give Unto Me]] in it's purest form.<br />
<br />
It is decidedly upbeat and showcases an Amy Lee that is letting someone in and who sounds happily in love. She thinks it is the bravest track on the album. <br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <br />
<br />
<blockquote>"It’s totally scary to be so vulnerable when I know however many metalheads are going to diss it because it’s not the exact same thing [as the other songs],” Lee says. “And it doesn’t end with, ‘And then he died’ or ‘I pushed him off a cliff’ or ‘He’s a ghost really.’ It’s so cool to me and weird to me. I’ve never written a happy song, ever."</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>"I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. That's really hard. You have to be really brave and strong about it. After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever." <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
The song was inspired by [[Hartzler, Josh|Josh]], Amy's then boyfriend and current husband (also the inspiration behind Bring Me to Life).<br />
<br />
The song was announced the Fourth Single from [[The Open Door]], the video was recorded 11-14 June 2007 in Budapest, Hungary.<br />
<br />
The Narnia song was NOT cut up. The Good Enough intro is NOT part of the Narnia song. Amy Lee confirmed on EvBoards, that the Narnia song is still intact and MAY be a future B-side.<br />
<br />
"Good Enough" was used as both the intro and outro music for the ''CSI'' seventh season episode "Fallen Idols".<br />

<br />
''Written by: [[A. Lee]] and [[T. Balsamo]]''<br />
<br />
Described as a song about "a post-relationship catharsis that head-dives from an otherworldly intro into a hard-driving thrash of hard rock guitars and soaring rock vocals" by [http://evanescence.com Evanescence.com].<br />
<br />
The listener is captivated by Amy’s universe as the very first notes start off. Amy repeatedly takes a deep breath in order to absorb us for an hour. Terry’s guitar part flirts with high notes, as Amy’s voice follows the same tonality path.<br />
<br />
In an interview, Amy was asked: <ref>http://www.evanescencewebsite.com/AmyLeeInterview.php</ref>"Which was the song on "The Open Door" that gave more trouble to you? Which was the song that needed more adjustments to obtain "the final cut"?" <br />
<BR><br />
<b>She replied:</b> "Sweet Sacrifice took the longest to write. Terry and I began tracking it at the beginning of 2005, got stuck on it and sort of abandoned it, half-baked, for months. Then in September we pulled it out and finally had a breakthrough with it and it became one of our favorite songs on the album. Usually when I get stuck on a song like that it dies. If I can't get the idea out when its fresh and urgent, the feeling just goes away- but Sweet Sacrifice came back to life."<br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref><br />
<br />
<blockquote>"It's the one song on The Open Door that's about the same abusive relationship which was the source of all the songs on Fallen. It was appropriate to put this song at the beginning, but it comes from a much stronger standpoint than Fallen. It's not saying, 'I'm trapped in fear and somebody save me.' It's saying, 'Fear is only in our minds ... I'm not afraid anymore.'"</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
Officially chosen as the third single from [[The Open Door]] after requests from the band and fan reactions prompted the label to rethink ideas of releasing [[All That I'm Living For]] as the single.<ref>[http://www.evthreads.com/showpost.php?p=136272&postcount=204 Post by Amy Lee on EvThreads.com]</ref><br />

For each day of production, one lucky EvClub member was given the chance to visit the set and take pictures while they watched the video being made (see [[EvClub#EvClub Insider|Contest Details]]).<br />
<br />
CNN broadcast a segment featuring some behind-the-scenes footage of the video on March 16, 2007 ([http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/showbiz/2007/03/16/quan.evanescence.mxf.windup&wm=11 video]).<br />
<br />
"It's mostly live performance," singer Amy Lee said recently on the set of their "Sweet Sacrifice" video. "It's not so much fluff and flying and tricks and wolves and stuff. It's more really just about the song, and that is unique for us. We usually do crazy stuff." The video does have a "cool twist," which Lee refused to reveal, but it will mainly feature the band performing on a set inspired by 2000's psychotherapist thriller "The Cell." "Like we're in the walls of our minds, sort of," Lee said. <br />
<br />
Paul Brown, who has directed videos for Audioslave and Matisyahu, helmed the project, which will feature scenes of the live footage projected onto a wall. "It's gonna be sort of like a video within the video," Lee said. "Since the song is our heaviest single, we really wanted to focus on mostly performance but still have something about it that's really unique. And I think [Paul] really hit the nail on the head." <br />

The video was officially released at launch.yahoo.com on April 5th, however iTunes North America had accidentally made it briefly available for purchase the day before.<br />

<br />
'''Fallen''' is the first full-length album by Evanescence, and their first album to achieve widespread release around the world. <br />
<br />
Fallen was the eighth best-selling album in the U.S. in 2004, with about 2.61 million copies sold that year.<ref>Jenison, David. "[http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=186cc8e5-821b-4c8a-8755-e755e82551ae&page=2 Usher No. 1 in 2004? Yeah!]", E! Online, January 5, 2005.</ref><br />
<br />
Amy Lee is quoted to have said, “We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again.” This is one of the reasons that Fallen is called what it is. Ben Moody in an interview said that Fallen was made to let people know that they aren’t alone when they feel alone or feel pain. Fallen has sold well over 14 million copies worldwide and about 5 and a half million in the US alone. The album debuted at #7 and has not fallen below #39 to date on the Billboard Album Chart. The album stayed in the top 10 for 43 non-consecutive weeks. Released March 4th, 2003. The CD was re-released in January 2004 with the band version of My Immortal. Fallen was Grammy nominated for Album of the Year in 2004. [[John LeCompt]] and [[Rocky Gray]] both had writing credits on Fallen before they officially joined the band. John has credits on Taking Over Me and Rocky has credits for writing the original version of Tourniquet (originally called My Tourniquet) for his band, [[Soul Embraced]].<br />

<div>{{Songs}}<br />
== General Information ==<br />
<br />
Written by: ''[[A. Lee]] and [[T. Balsamo]]''<br />
<br />
The song was originally written for the movie [[The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe]], but was scrapped by the director. "I thought it would be awesome for the opening scene, but they wanted something original," says Lee of the Mozart cover. <ref name=metaledge>[http://lnx.evanescencewebsite.com/PressArchive/news.php?id=130 The Essence of Evanescence], page 10. - Metal Edge, September 8, 2006. Retrieved on November, 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
It features elements of W.A. Mozart's "Lacrimosa" from his 'Requiem in D Minor.' More info on that composition can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrimosa_%28Requiem%29 here].<br />
<br />
A 22-cord orchestra led by Dave Campbell (with whom Evanescence had already worked for their performance at the Billboard Awards 2004) starts off the song in order to introduce a choir, which serves as back up for Amy’s vocals.<br />
<br />
"Dave Campbell is an enormous inspiration source for me," says Amy. "He’s so talented. The way he arranges orchestral parts is remarkable. It's the element of our music that makes me cry!"<br />
<br />
Terry's guitar solo in the middle of the song adds to its sheer epic sound before the choir closes with a stunning decrescendo. <br />
<br />
The word "Lacrymosa" means 'relating to sadness.'<br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref><br />
<br />
<blockquote>"I saw Amadeus when I was nine years old and fell in love with Mozart. The part of Mozart's Requiem called "Lacrimosa" is my favorite piece of music ever. I always wished we could cover it, but with programming and guitars and make it cool. It's our moment to try all the things I wanted to and couldn't, so I started messing with it in Protools. Terry wrote some riffs and turned it into this awesome metal epic." </blockquote> <br />
<br />
Recorded in a chapel near Seattle.<br />
<br />
A 30 second clip of this song along with The Open Door trailer was featured on music.aol.com's page for Evanescence. It can now be seen on YouTube [http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q4onankqvZA here].<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
Out on your own<BR><br />
Cold and alone again<BR><br />
Can this be what you really wanted, baby?<BR><br />
<BR><br />
''[Lacrimosa]''<BR><br />
Blame it on me<BR><br />
''[Dies illa]''<BR><br />
Set your guilt free<BR><br />
''[Lacrimosa]''<BR><br />
Nothing can hold you back now<BR><br />
''[Dona eis requiem]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Now that you're gone<BR><br />
I feel like myself again<BR><br />
Grieving the things I can't repair and willing<BR><br />
<BR><br />
''[Lacrimosa]''<BR><br />
To let you blame it on me<BR><br />
''[Dies illa]''<BR><br />
And set your guilt free<BR><br />
''[Lacrimosa]''<BR><br />
I don't want to hold you back now love<BR><br />
''[Dona eis requiem]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I can't change who I am<BR><br />
Not this time, I wont lie to keep you near me<BR><br />
And in this short life<BR><br />
There's no time to waste on giving up<BR><br />
My love wasn't enough<BR><br />
<BR><br />
''[Lacrimosa]''<BR><br />
And you can blame it on me<BR><br />
''[Dies illa]''<BR><br />
Just set your guilt free, honey<BR><br />
''[Lacrimosa]''<BR><br />
I don't want to hold you back now love<BR><br />
''[Dona eis requiem]''<BR><br />

<div>Track #6 on Korn's 'Untouchables' album. <br><br />
Track #5 on Evanescence's 'Anywhere But Home' DVD.<br />
<br />
Korn song originally recorded on 2002’s Untouchables that Evanescence started to cover in spring 2004. The piano driven cover was also released on Evanescence's 2004 live DVD, [[Anywhere But Home]].<br />
<br />
"Yeah, we did a couple of shows with [EVANESCENCE] in Europe and [they] played it," Jonathan Davis of Korn told The Blitz 99.7 FM. "It's a huge, huge thing when an artist thinks of doing a cover of one of our songs, it just blows us away, and she [EVANESCENCE singer [[Amy Lee]] does it so beautifully. She's told me time and time again that she's a huge KORN fan. What was really cool was that in Europe, they were supposed to headline over us and she refused to do it and made us headline over them. There's a just a lot of respect there. I think she's a great girl and I love that cover — it came out beautifully. The way I hear things in my head sometimes, the more [time I spend] in a heavy band, I'm more about melody and shit like that, so… when I heard [EVANESCENCE's version of 'Thoughtless'], it was really cool. The melodies really pop out.'" (Evanescence Website)<br />
<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
All of my hate cannot be found <br><br />
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming <br><br />
So you can try to tear me down <br><br />
Beat me to the ground <br><br />
I will see you screaming <br><br />
<br><br />
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies <br><br />
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down <br><br />
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me <br><br />
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground <br><br />
<br><br />
Why are you trying to make fun of me? <br><br />
You think it's funny? <br><br />
What the fuck you think it's doing to me? <br><br />
You take your turn lashing out at me <br><br />
I want you crying with you´re bloody down in front of me <br><br />
<br><br />
All of my hate cannot be found <br><br />
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming <br><br />
So you can try to tear me down <br><br />
Beat me to the ground <br><br />
I will see you screaming <br><br />
<br><br />
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies <br><br />
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown <br><br />
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me <br><br />
And I'll pull the trigger <br><br />
And you're down, down, down <br><br />
<br><br />
Why are you trying to make fun of me? <br><br />
You think it's funny? <br><br />
What the fuck you think it's doing to me? <br><br />
You take your turn lashing out at me <br><br />
I want you crying with you´re bloody down in front of me <br><br />
<br><br />
All of my hate cannot be found <br><br />
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming <br><br />
So you can try to tear me down <br><br />
Beat me to the ground <br><br />
I will see you screaming <br><br />
<br><br />
All my friends are gone, they died <br><br />
They all screamed, and cried <br><br />
Gonna take you down [repeat 4x] <br><br />
<br><br />
All of my hate cannot be found <br><br />
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming <br><br />
So you can try to tear me down <br><br />
Beat me to the ground <br><br />
I will see you screaming <br><br />
<br><br />
All of my hate cannot be found <br><br />
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming <br><br />
So you can try to tear me down <br><br />
Beat me to the ground <br><br />
I will see you screaming <br><br />

<div>[[Image:withintemptation.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Within Temptation]]<br />
<br />
Formed in 1996 with Robert Westerholt and Sharon den Adel. This band is often mentioned, among a number of others, as sharing a similar sound with Evanescence. Last album released: The Heart of Everything in 2007.<br />
<br />
It seems that the band had attempted a ''[[Bring me to Life]]'' style hit with first single 'What Have You Done Now;' however the song has been described as possibly the weakest on the new album.<br />
<br />
Band lineup: Robert Westerholt (guitar), Sharon den Adel (singer), Jeroen van Veen (bass guitar), Martijn Spierenburg (keyboards), Stephen van Haestregt (drums) and Ruud Jolie (guitar).<br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]], and [[D. Hodges]]''<br />
<br />
This was the last song written for Fallen and would have been the first single, but Bring Me to Life had been put onto the [[Daredevil Soundtrack]], so it became the second single.<br />
<br />
The song is about [[Amy Lee]]'s relationship with an abusive boyfriend, but it can be used to describe any type of abusive relationship. Lee said the song is about emerging from a "bad" relationship, explaining "And when you're at the end of your rope, when you're at the point where you realize something has to change, that you can't go on living in the situation that you're in. It's cool. It's a very strong song."<ref name=MTVNews>D'Angelo, Joe.

<br />
Going Under is Amy's favourite song from [[Fallen]]<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
<br />
=== Fallen Version ===<br />
Now I will tell you what I've done for you<br><br />
Fifty thousand tears I've cried<br><br />
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you<br><br />
And you still won't hear me<br><br />
''[going under]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Don't want your hand<br><br />
This time I'll save myself<br><br />
Maybe I'll wake up for once<br><br />
Not tormented daily defeated by you<br><br />
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom<br><br />
I'm dying again<br><br />
<br><br />
I'm going under ''[going under]''<br><br />
Drowning in you ''[drowning in you]''<br><br />
I'm falling forever ''[falling forever]''<br><br />
I've got to break through<br><br />
I'm going under<br><br />
<br><br />
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies<br><br />
''[So I don't know what's real and what's not]''<br><br />
So I don't know what's real and what's not<br><br />
''[So I don't know what's real and what's not]''<br><br />
Always confusing the thoughts in my head<br><br />
So I can't trust myself anymore<br><br />
I'm dying again<br><br />
<br><br />
I'm going under ''[going under]''<br><br />
Drowning in you ''[drowning in you]''<br><br />
I'm falling forever ''[falling forever]''<br><br />
I've got to break through<br><br />
I'm<br><br />
<br><br />
So go on and scream<br><br />
Scream at me I'm so far away ''[so far away]''<br><br />
I won't be broken again ''[again]''<br><br />
I've got to breathe<br><br />
I can't keep going under<br><br />
<br><br />
I'm going under ''[going under]''<br><br />
Drowning in you ''[drowning in you]''<br><br />
I'm falling forever ''[falling forever]''<br><br />
I've got to break through <br><br />
I'm going under ''[going under]''<br><br />
Going under ''[drowning in you]''<br><br />
I'm going under<br><br />

==Video==<br />
[[Image:GoingUnderVideo.gif|left|200px|Video]]The video is a live-performance/action video and was directed by Philip Stolzl. The video was filmed in Berlin, Germany, but most of it was filmed in Los Angeles, California in May of 2003. It follows the band performing at what can be assumed is a concert in which they’re the headliners, Amy swimming and singing underwater, and Ben being questioned relentlessly by the media (the media’s constant questions about the band’s religious affiliation inspired that part in the video). Evil Dead, one of Ben’s favorite movies inspires the use of the zombies in the video; normal people attending the gig transform into said zombies throughout the course of the video. The underwater scene was Amy's idea. She also designed two of the costumes she's wearing in the video. The crimson corset cost her $2,500, the biggest amount of money she’d ever spent on a piece of clothing. The other outfit had been stitched by Amy herself. "It's white and has a lot of shreds. It reminds me of something someone who died would wear.” The idea of them came to her while she was nursing an illness in a hotel in Los Angeles.<br />

Written by: ''[[Amy Lee|A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
<br />
In an interview, Amy said the song was written as a joke and it was first metioned in an interview with Blender Magazine in 2004.<ref>http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=705</ref>. In an interview with Spin Magazine she hinted that the song was dedicated to [[Ben Moody]]. <ref>http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5844/file0120kc9ax1.jpg</ref> It features Amy's solo, un-layered, vocals with a very simple piano track. Some very experimental vocal work is heard throughout.<br />
<br />
The song was released as a bonus track on iTunes when [[The Open Door]] album was released (the album had to be pre-ordered from the website) and soon spread around the Internet. The song was also released as a B-side on the [[Lithium Single]].<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
Sparkling grey<BR><br />
In my own veins<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Any more than a whisper<BR><br />
Any sudden movement of my heart<BR><br />
And I know<BR><br />
I know I'll have to watch them pass away<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Just get through this day<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Give up your way<BR><br />
You could be anything<BR><br />
Give up my way <BR><br />
And lose myself<BR><BR><br />
Not today<BR><br />
That's too much guilt to pay<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Sickened in the sun<BR><br />
You dare tell me you love me<BR><br />
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die<BR><br />
Honey you know<BR><br />
You know I'd never hurt you that way<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You're just so pretty in your pain<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Give up my way<BR><br />
And I could be anything<BR><br />
I'll make my own way<BR><br />
Without your senseless<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
<BR><br />
So run<BR><br />
Run<BR><br />
Run<BR><br />
And hate me<BR><br />
If it feels good<BR><br />
I can't hear your screams anymore<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You lied to me<BR><br />
But I'm older now<BR><br />
And I'm not buying baby<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Demanding my response<BR><br />
Don't bother breaking the door down<BR><br />
I found my way out<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And you'll never hurt me again<BR><br />
